I like the highlander change. And look forward to the return of tentacle warrior next expansion.

Well that was about 10k dust all told, nice haul.

edit: going into wild I wish they would've changed all highlander cards and not just current gen.

Battlegrounds bug PSA: the golden Scrap Scraper battlecry does nothing

Edit: Utility Drone scaling is bugged too, at least for the golden version. Exactly how it's bugged wasn't obvious to me, but it was barely buffing anything

I feel like nature shaman is still ridiculously strong? 3 mana flash and 6 mana crash don't really do it imo

Nature Shamans still gonna probably be a deck but you can tech against it pretty hard with cards like Speaker Stomper and Cult Acolyte so I don't think it will get too out of hand

The nerfs didn't touch my deck because it's terrible.

This warrior played a Boomboss with Brann, then on my turn I played three Boombosses and one more the turn after. That was fun.

Since the bombs go into the opponent's deck they can also now blow themselves up. Haven't seen it happen yet, but I wonder if they ever get adjusted to trigger on destruction too.

Didn't think of it before, but the "ALL" minions will buff every minion with the "+3/+2 spell for this type" spell. Duh, but I can't recall if there was a universal ALL minion during Battleground Spells?

I hate the nerf to play pen or w/e the Hunter location is. I’m sure it was strong because I’m sure it was strong but I didn’t play some perfect deck with it!

ChatGPT, is that you?

I like that we've 'fixed' efficient board clears, yet DK is easily doing it for 5-6 turns consecutively. The power creep has finally caught up with them. It's not even 'good' from a power standpoint, but it's loving boring to slog through.

Even though I don't care for Mech Rogue, I wouldn't mind a signature Mimiron. They should open those up as a gold/dust sink.

It's dumb that you can make Gold cards but not usually upgrade past that. Give me dust/gold tiers for Diamond/Signature upgrades without gambling on lovely packages. I spend 400 Gold on one Gold Standard pack, I'd spend more for better.

Have they done signature art for every card? Crazy that they get so little screen time if so. Same for lots of the goldens.

"Everyone's entitled to their point of view, but that's seriously a weird one."
They do about half a dozen non-legendaries per expac (which usually come from reward tracks), plus about a dozen or so legendaries (which are in packs, or in the shop).

That’s okay, Warrior is the place for Priest enjoyers now. Never play a Minion unless it Discovers or Draws until endgame, delete everything, gain 10-15 health a turn, play a win con. It’s basically the same Class with a different colour.

The game is better when Priest is Priest and Warrior is dogshit, prove me wrong. At least Priest is capped to 30 life to die to OTKs.

I don’t disagree with you but, honestly, it feels worse in the inverse. When was the last time Warrior was playable…at all? Priest had one archetype (that was p bullshit but v hard to play) and that got nerfed into the ground.

Careful what you wish for, I guess

Warrior feels a little overtuned, but not too much. Make it a little worse, and it’s fine. Hunter worries me more, frankly

it's great, next the devs are going to react to the problem they should've fixed in the previous patch and completely miss the growing problem developing in response to it

in this manner the devs are forever a patch behind the actual problems and the meta never improves at higher levels, leading to endless bitching and free content

here come the planes
i mean, this latest patch was a pretty big swing at trying to undercut power levels of about as many things as possible & anecdotally it feels pretty successful on that front even if i agree brann warrior feels like an outlier in terms of inevitability and not caring what the opponent does (the main target of that swing)

that said, it looks like it's not exactly a winrate outlier, at least to hsreplay's data

The thing about Warrior is that it has very few angles to actually beat you. Its win conditions are:

1) Inventor Boom resurrecting Zilliax
2) Ignis
3) Azerite Ox
4) Attrition

Only one of these provides any kind of burst potential aside from highrolly “discover multiple Rags/Groms into an empty board” Ox discovers. Its damage and value are both hard limited compared to other decks in the format.

In theory, it doesn’t seem like it would be impossible for a properly-tuned deck to answer all these win conditions and outlast the Warrior. Rat, Viper, and board wipes can really inhibit their ability to actually beat you. But the major problem is that Boomboss makes it extremely awkward to hold answers in your hand and deploy them at the right time. That one card makes trying to play a reactive game incredibly dicey and kind of beats value-based plans singlehandedly. That’s the card I’d hit if it were me.

Don't forget the warrior gets Dirty Rat too (doubly so post-Brann) so your own answers and wincons aren't always going to be available for you either.

I'm enjoying highlander dragon priest. It's got insane value, you can beat plague DK by getting the egg out and keeping your hand at 9 cards so you never draw anything, or diluting the draw pool with 1 cost legendaries. The main thing I've lost to has been spell mage, weirdly enough, have slowly been climbing to d2 with it a few games per day.
